Disparities in HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Reversal and Abandonment by Race and Income
Willingness-to-Pay for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the United States
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective for preventing HIV, but out-of-pocket costs represent a critical barrier to uptake. We conducted an online survey from May 2020 to October 2021. Gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in New England recruited through social networking apps were randomly assigned to view different monthly PrEP costs ($0-$105) and asked about their willingness to pay. Among 612 participants, each $10 i…
Racial and ethnic differences in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis reversal and abandonment in the United States
Daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectively reduces HIV infection risks. However, adherence has been suboptimal across the United States (US), particularly among African Americans and Hispanic populations. We assessed racial and ethnic differences in PrEP primary non-adherence using two pharmacy-based measures: PrEP reversal (failure to pick up the first insurance-approved prescription) and PrEP abandonment (a reversed prescription not…
County-Level Factors Associated with Reversal of Insurer-Approved HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Prescriptions in the United States, 2018
Sex differences in psychosocial and demographic factors associated with sustained HIV viral suppression in the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program, 2017
This exploratory study examined sex differences in psychosocial and demographic factors associated with sustained HIV viral suppression (SVS). The study population included 6,489 Miami-Dade Ryan White Program (RWP) clients receiving services during 2017; administrative data was analyzed. SVS was defined as having all viral load tests during 2017 below 200 copies/ml. Multilevel logistic regression models accounted for clustering by medical case ma…
Factors Associated with Geographic Patterns of Poor Sustained Viral Suppression in Miami-Dade County Florida, 2017
Health Care Expenditures for Black and White US Adults Living Under Similar Conditions
In this cross-sectional study of Black and White adults in the US, health care expenditure disparities diminished or disappeared under conditions of both racial and economic equity and equitable health care access; in areas that were mostly high income and had mostly White residents, Black adults spent substantially less. Results underscore the continuing need to recognize place as a contributor to race-based differences in health care spending
Identifying HIV PrEP Attributes to Increase PrEP Use Among Different Groups of Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
Social disorganization and new HIV diagnoses, 2013‐2017, Florida
PURPOSE: To compare the role of neighborhood social disorganization factors on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis rates in urban and rural areas in Florida, we conducted an ecologic study of HIV diagnosis rates during 2013-2017 and social disorganization components, including concentrated disadvantage, ethnic heterogeneity, and residential instability. METHODS: Indices of social disorganization components were obtained from principal co…

A Comparative Analysis of Different HIV Viral Load Suppression Definitions Among Clients Receiving Care in the Miami-Dade Ryan White HIV/Aids Program
Relationship between Housing Characteristics and Care Outcomes among Women Living with HIV
Housing plays a critical role in the care outcomes of individuals living with a HIV, yet few studies have examined the unique housing profiles of women living with HIV (WLH), especially among those belonging to low-income racial/ethnic minority groups. In this study, authors conducted a latent class analysis to generate latent profiles of women ( N = 1,501) according to their housing status and household characteristics and assessed associations …
Identifying patterns of retention in care and viral suppression using latent class analysis among women living with HIV in Florida 2015–2017
The study objective was to classify women with newly diagnosed HIV into patterns of retention in care (≥2 HIV care visits ≥3 months apart) and viral suppression over time and identify factors associated with class membership. Florida HIV/AIDS surveillance data were used to conduct Latent Class Analysis to classify women into patterns, and multinomial regression was used to compare the prevalence of class membership by demographic and clinical fac…
Latent Class Analysis of Syndemic Factors Associated with Sustained Viral Suppression among Ryan White HIV/Aids Program Clients in Miami, 2017
Sustained HIV viral suppression among men who have sex with men in the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program
Despite access to treatment, age and racial disparities in sustained viral suppression exist among MSM living with HIV. Addressing substance use, mental health, and social services' needs may improve the ability of MSM to sustain viral suppression long-term. Furthermore, physician characteristics may be associated with HIV outcomes and should be explored further
